What car did your Mirage replace? Trade-in, sold, or none of the above?

2002 Nissan Altima

2012 Nissan Versa SV sedan. My first brand-new car. I liked it a lot, but the reliability and overall quality was pretty bad. I traded it in at 56k miles for my 2014 Mirage. Kermit has a lot more personality than the Versa and quality and reliability have been superior so far.

I Have been driving a 1999 Jeep Wrangler 4 Cylinder for the Last eight years. Compared to the jeep the Mirage is quiet and has more power. The jeep only got about 15 MPG. And as it was a soft top it never was very warm in the Cold Syracuse winters.

Replaced my 1996 Ford Aspire which had 61,000 miles since purchased new. Replaced because my grand nephew tested the age old physics principle that "Two solid objects can not occupy the same space at the same time." Got three out of 4 sides!"

My previous car was a first-generation Honda Insight. A real beauty. Built in 2001, I bought it in 2009 at 111,000 miles, and I drove it until 2012. I reluctantly sold it when I moved overseas for two years. Then I came back and looked for another one. I couldn't find one that would have satisfied me. At last I bought a brand-new Mirage. I have never regretted it. Not a stylish car but a very practical one—almost as economical as my old Insight but far more comfortable to sit in (I am 6'1'). Only the noise makes me long for my old Insight, especially on the freeway.

^ I had a 2000 Insight, 5-speed. Incredible car. I still miss it sometimes.

Aluminum construction for even lighter weight than a Mirage, lean burn engine & amazing aerodynamics! Every time I drove it, I marvelled at how far the engineers were allowed to go in pursuit of efficiency.

Traded in a 2013 Fiat 500 Turbo. Definitely miss the power and the sound of the exhaust on it.

That looks cool. Best one I've seen. But I heard reliability is not the best on those overall?

I've read those are very fun cars. Why did you trade for a Mirage?

It was an awesome car to drive! I traded in my other car on a new Lancer, so I thought I should trade this one in too. Previously had a Fiat 500L and the 500 Turbo, so I decided to basically switch automakers all together.
